Before You Start

  • NexaLink Scanner app installed
  • Attending an event with business card exchanges

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Open NexaLink Scanner

Launch the scanner app and enable the camera for card scanning.

Tip: Grant camera permissions before the event to avoid delays
2

Scan Each Business Card

Point your camera at the business card and let the AI extract all contact details automatically.

Tip: Hold the card on a flat surface for the best scan quality
3

Verify and Enrich

Review the extracted info, correct any errors, and add notes about your conversation.

Tip: Add context like 'interested in enterprise plan' or 'needs follow-up demo'
4

Tag by Event and Priority

Tag each lead with the event name and assign a priority level (hot, warm, cold).

Tip: Consistent tagging makes post-event follow-up much easier
5

Sync to CRM

All scanned contacts sync automatically to NexaLink CRM for organized follow-up.

Tip: Set up CRM automation rules to trigger follow-up emails by priority

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the scanning?

It depends on print quality and light, so NexaLink shows you what it read before you save and flags anything it isn't sure about. We don't publish a single accuracy percentage.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Capture and on-device text recognition work without a connection; anything that needs the cloud runs when you're back online.

Which CRMs does it work with?

Any CRM that imports CSV or vCard — Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho CRM, Pipedrive and others. Direct HubSpot, Zoho CRM and Salesforce sync is coming soon; it is not available to connect yet.
